DEVO:
My daughter prepared for months for her role as Scar in her 7th grade music theater production of The Lion King. She knew her lines by heart and we had reviewed them numerous times. Although she was prepared and ready she was nervous about making a mistake on stage during her performance, even to the point of being sick to her stomach.
The night of the play she started off amazing, nailing all of her lines superbly and singing a wonderful solo. She was shining!! On her last scene of the play, she misspoke one line and corrected herself on stage. Unfortunately, her response to this slight mistake was that the remaining lines she had, she forgot… and ultimately needed some help recalling her lines from another character on stage for the remainder of the scene. In her mind she had blown the whole entire performance, but to all the audience it looked as though it was a minor hiccup in a small moment.
After the play ended, she was the last character to come out of the dressing room to greet the fans and when she finally did she ran to me and buried her head into my chest and cried for about a minute as I held her.
Attempting to console her, (even though I was heartbroken for her myself for her) I assured her she did phenomenally and to extend herself some grace and forgiveness. She did e wonderful throughout her performance, except one small error. She allowed it to make her feel all was bad, but she couldn’t have been more wrong.

This has been something I have struggled with all my life, not focusing on my struggles and allowing them to detract from my successes.
The next day at work, a patient who was struggling with her health and difficulty referenced Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
This allowed me to appreciate that struggle and failure are necessary and purposeful, despite the pain and agony it causes. Unknowingly, my patient helped me with my own reflection of my daughter’s recent struggle. We all have struggle and failure that are necessary for growth and acceptance. If we don’t endure hardships when we are young and learn to overcome them, we are likely to have a bumpy ride into adulthood and continuing forward. As hard as it was to see things go seemingly off the rails, she just needs to accept and say, ” I’m only human and not perfect.”

I’m very proud of my girl!!!
